Now we are studying about sleep. According to the first article, we learned the connection between our memory and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) sleep. It is very interesting that people who have had stimuli, which had some pattern, during the REM sleep showed improvement of response compared to before sleeping. The second article illustrates the reason of deprivation of sleep. Nowadays people are required to work in everywhere even though in their bedroom. This is the very reason to cause lack of sleep. To take adequate sleep is important not only for improvement of efficiency of work, but also for one’s health. Some scientists said lacking sleep could cause double risk of a heart attack. In the third article, we learned about nightmares. I agree with the idea of this article except an idea that we can change our dream. I believe it is sure that emotion could affect dream. For example, when I was a child, I always saw funny dreams after I went to amusement park. However, whenever I do not want to see nightmare, I cannot control them.
Surprisingly, some scientists revealed that taking half an hour nap during daytime could decrease risk of heart attack. Although there are few clear explanation of connection between stress and heart disease, they said taking nap help to reduce stress. At the same time, they also said that it helps effective work. Actually, I have same experience. After taking a few hours nap, I can concentrate on studying. I am not sure but I have heard of the school that admits taking a nap after lunch.
It is important for our health to take enough sleep. We should think about our sleep habit to make better health and life, I think.
Daytime naps can help the heart

Many people are now suffering from lack of sleep according to many news and articles. It is really serious problem. Sleep is basic requirement to maintain our healthy health condition. Actually near by me, my father is suffering from lack of sleep. He brings his computer to home and doing his office work even while he is staying home. That time must be used as his own private time or spend with family. Current people really have to worry about their health condition. There are many new diseases related to sleep deficiency. Now is the time that we should alert about it.
